Amazing pattern

I'm fascinated by the pattern you used for the baseline, boosting a step by powers of two. It reminds me of the Sieve of Erastosthenes, a method for generating prime numbers, where one crosses out multiples of the numbers that still remain in the sieve instead of just the powers of two. If one applied your method to this particular sieve the results would either be bizarrely dissonant or really cool.

Sorry for getting overexcited about this, it's just that I'm a mathematician and I found your pattern fascinating. The melody was also good, if a bit repetitive, and the pattern does give the bassline an interesting harmony. Did you have to restrict it so that the number of notes was a power of two to make it come out even?

I start out with a line of C's
then I add 1 step to every other note:
CDCDCDCDCDCDCDCD, then I add 1 step to every fourth, then eighth:
CDCEbCDCFCDCEbCDCF all on the minor scale. My little brother came up with it, actually.
